Road Test: Furbo Dog Camera
The $360 guilt-busting gadget for leaving Fido home alone. You’ll even know when he’s annoying the neighbours...
WHAT IS IT? This, my furry friend, is “the only interactive treat-tossing camera designed for dogs”.
COME AGAIN? It’s for watching and talking with you when you’re home alone. Using the app, I can remotely access the wide-angle HD camera with wifi connectivity, night vision, two-way audio, barking alert system…
BUT TELL ME ABOUT THE TREATS! OK. Under the pup-proof Scandi-chic bamboo lid is a place for doggy treats. When I select the treat symbol on the app, a chewy thing is sent flying through that hole in the front.
I LIKE IT! Actually, you looked terrified the first time we tried it, so I changed the “incoming treat” alert from a yapping puppy sound to a recording of my voice. The app even sends me an SMS if it detects you barking…
CAN’T YOU STAY AT HOME GIVE ME THE TREATS? Then you could scratch my tummy and take me to the park… No. Incoming!
